This is a place for any extant garments in private collections from about 1941 back. There is no beginning date. The only rule is that it can't be currently in a museum and must be before the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I mostly post items I've seen on ebay, etsy, or other auction sites so we will continue to have a record of them for research purposes. If you have antique clothing in your collection, please, email me pictures of them and I will gladly add them to this site.

Victorian Turkish Outfit
From the seller:
ou are viewing an attractive example of embroidery.
I'm offering a lovely bridal skirt and dress
A beautiful dress of hand loomed silk fabric exquisitely hand embroidered with cauched gold metallic.
Origin: Turkey
Date: 19th. C
Example from the: Ottoman period
Condition Report
The skirt and jacket have several stains as shown on the photos.
So both of them are unwearable.
But The gold embroideries are in very great condition and they are shining.
Please take a good look and zoom also at the photographs, these form an important part of the description.
Most of my items listed are original antique or vintage unless otherwise stated.
This means used condition and listed as they found.
From Me:
I honestly have no idea when this is exactly from. The skirt has embroidery that was popular in the 1860's/1870's but the way the jacket is constructed is more 1880's/1890's. So...late Victorian?

The damask silk looks like several from the 18th C but I wouldn't be surprised if the silk is earlier. The style of the robe is commonly seen in the 18th C - even in Europe.
